So the pistons come back up in a hollowed hole made in the floor above? Cool.

"According to Kajima, the daruma-otoshi demolition method — which is now being used to dismantle a 75 meter (246 ft) tall, 20-story building and a 65 meter (213 ft) tall, 17-story building — is safer and creates less noise and dust pollution because the work is kept close to the ground. In addition, this method cuts demolition time by 20% and makes it easier to separate and recycle the building materials."

Hawt!

This is really neat, however, it's only interesting to watch in extremefastforward, whereas blowing up a buildin is fun to watch in realtime and slo-mo.

Point for clean and efficient. Minus several hundred points for taking the fun out of it!

I was like, "So uhhh where's the demolition?" I'm a bit slow sometimes.
